    makes perfect sense...the top 2 grow naturally, everything else is synthetic


    Cocaine & heroin are not synthetic.

    That has no relevance to the chemicals' safety profile.
    Cocaine & heroin are not synthetic.
    Heroin is semi-synthetic.

    Ok .. maybe i misunderstand.

    Is it not highly additive?

    should I give it a go:D

    It is highly addictive.

    Only you can answer if you should try it or not, it's against the forum rules for me to tell you what you should do.

    what's the significance of that?

    It's as addictive as they come, but even then it would take several weeks of habitual use to develop a physical dependence.

    You don't get addicted to something from trying it once.

    if cows and sheep etc are pissing and ****ting all over it, it's less harmful than a clean lab obviously ;)

    I'm assuming this is a rhetorical question, and you probably know that a lot of people buy into the specious notion that natural necessarily equals good, despite the fact that some of the most dangerous drugs like datura and deadly nightshade come straight from the ground.

    Just look at the market there is for natural (ineffective) herbal remedies and you'll see how prevalent this belief is.

    Can't ever fly a plane if you've taken LSD.

    Absolute nonsense. LSD is metabolised within a day or so of ingestion. Its half-life is around five hours. The urban myth about it staying in your spine is, well, an urban myth.

    im going to stick with caffeine. For now anyways.

    Does it not scare the sh1t out of you , sticking a needle in your arm and pushing the stuff in.

    Like taking a step too far?

    I mean I have tried everything else on the list except crack. I have always thought of the last one as something I would be better off without.

    Although I would love to feel its effects . I would be afraid I would like it.
    To many of those peeps begging on the streets in Dublin right now, liked it to much. scary stuff.

    I'm not sure if there's any truth in what he's saying, but LSD can, in rare instances, cause HPPD, which would be a bit of an occupational hazard for a pilot.

    There's no way they could actually test if you'd taken LSD though, unless you'd tripped a few hours before a drugs test.

    I have no idea; I've never tried it and it's not something that interests me (I like uppers). If I had to take it I'd smoke it anyway.

    that doesn't make any sense

    Why doesn't it? Do you know how cocaine is extracted?

    I wouldn't really blame the drug itself for that though. I asked someone about knows a lot about this area about addictions and he posted up this interesting reply. One of the things in it was that given a richer environment people are much more likely to be able to control their use of drugs. So I don't think well balanced people would have that much to fear.

    because natural != good
    and synthetic != bad

    I never said that being natural was better health-wise, I could grow the top 2 drugs in my own garden and use them without any preparation.. which is good because no cartels are making monopolies from what I choose to do, and less people's lives are being affected negatively because of it.

    Reminiscent of the Rat Park experiment, which also suggested that addiction was primarily the result of a dull and/or depressing environment.

    I did understand why someone would take Heroin ??

    Surly everyone knows by now the outcome . death, poverty, soiling the pants, Aids yada yada yada.....

    Wasn't there an article uploaded on a thread here before about the upper-middle class guy with a nice job and family who was taking heroin on a regular basis with little issue.

    A lot of the issues relating to it seem to be blown out of proportion and tend to do with the manner you take the drug and the person you are, more than anything else (specifically the type of drug)

    You tryin to make out MDMA is bad? Its one of the best drugs goin, and has been for 30 years. Its just difficult to get your hands on these days, though more proper E are starting to come through again, thankfully.

    Everyone has been passing off bloody Pip's as yokes for about 2/3 years now, absolute joke.

    It gotten to the point that an E will cost nearly as much as it did 20 years ago.


  • Registered Users Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    I've done a few on the list, don't do any of them anymore though. I only took LSD once, hallucinagenic drugs don't sit well with me. For that reason I'd never take mushies. I did take a pill laced with acid one night and I thought I was in Super Mario Land. I walking around the club, jumping in the air every few seconds thinking I was hitting the boxes with my head. That was fun!

    Ha ha thats hilarious! You didn't eat a fire flower at any stage did you? lol

    I'm not one for the hallucinogens either. I rather the rush / out of it type drugs if you know what I mean! Amphetamines, MDMA, Coke etc are my fav's.

    Cannabis is one of the filthiest drugs on the planet......doesn't put me off it, but it's probably dirtier than most E's.

    Last time I looked, the cops still value pills at the same price they were 20 years ago!!

    lol well yeah thats true!

    But its now at the point where a proper E (if you can get one) might set you back €10-15.

    I'm sure once more floods the market, the price will drop again, but there's been that little in the country over the past couple of years, I wouldn't be holding my breath.

    A quick trip to pillreports.com will show you the amount of rubbish out there, and the small amounts of good stuff creeping back in
